Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

September 17, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not 
display a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before November 22, 2010. If you anticipate that you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060-1059.
    Title: Global Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite (GMPCS)/
E911 Call Centers.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 25 respondents; 25 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The

USC 154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309 and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 25 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $7,500.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
after this 60 day comment period to Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. The 
information collection requirements under this OMB control number 
(3060-1059) are used by the Commission under its authority to license 
commercial satellite services in the United States pursuant to 47 CFR 
Part 25. Additionally, the Commission has the authority to ensure that 
Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) providers establish and maintain 
Emergency Call Center Service pursuant to 47 CFR 25.284. The 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements include data on MSS call 
center usage such as the aggregate number of calls that the call 
centers receive and the number of calls that required forwarding to a 
local Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The Commission uses this 
data to monitor compliance with the call center requirement and track 
usage trends. Such information is useful to the Commission in 
considering whether FCC rules require modification to accommodate the 
changing market. Without this collection of information that result 
from these rules, the Commission would not be able to monitor the MSS 
carriers' establishment of call centers which are essential to provide 
emergency services, such as handling emergency 911 telephone calls from 
American citizens.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0669.
    Title: Section 76.946, Advertising of Rates.
    Form Number: N/A.

party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden to Respondents: 4,125 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: None.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
Section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is not 
required for this collection of information.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s)
    Needs and Uses: Section 76.946 states that cable operators that 
advertise for basic service and cable programming service tiers shall 
be required to advertise rates that include all costs and fees. Cable 
systems that cover multiple franchise areas having differing franchise 
fees or other franchise costs, different channel line-ups, or different 
rate structures, may advertise a complete range of fees without 
specific identification of the rate for each individual area. In such 
circumstances, the operator may advertise a ``fee plus'' rate that 
indicates the core rate plus the range of possible additions, depending 
upon the particular location of the subscriber. The Commission has set 
forth this disclosure requirement to ensure consumer awareness of all 
fees associated with basic service and cable programming service tier 
rates.
